Review of Waiting for Guffman (1997) by Vern H — 08 Feb 2013

It's ending is pretty uncompromising and blunt, arguably in a realistic, documentarian way, like some of Christopher Guest's other works, but aside from that minor qualm, Waiting For Guffman is a funny while somewhat respectful mocumentary on the world of small town theater with a quirky and humorous subject, great and comical performances all around, trademark oddball and flat out hilarious characters who's flaws are never mocked, but rather just shown from a distance, very witty and subtle satirical humor, and economic, mildy affectionate direction as well.
